Joined: 15 Feb 2012 Posts: 68 Bike: My Profile | Ooh ooh, I wanna do that one.lol. Reckon I could just scrape through the 50 miles, JUST! Haven't been on my bike since a charity ride back in sept, due to injury so need to get my finger out. Dont fancy doing it on my own tho, may have to use my charm on some of the customers at work and ask them. Watch this space. Here I come, hopefully. Byesy bye, Ali x |

Think I need to learn a few basic words as its not like going in to the chinky and ordering a number 4 with boiled rice ! knowing my luck I'll end up eating dog on a spit or hedgehog or snake again. Yuk. No it didnt taste like chicken. x |

Joined: 15 Feb 2012 Posts: 68 Bike: My Profile | lol. I know all about hills only too well. When we did the Scarborough to Cleveleys coast to coast in may, I slugged it out in the mini heatwave up a chuffing hill for what seemed like hours. When I finally got to the top we could see the listening post(like giant golf balls)but I was so fed up it broke my spirit and I wanted to beat my mate up with my pump. I didn't know I could swear so much .lol The way down was great, 6 miles free wheeling and then the best ice cream in the park ever. Its hilly round here so I'm getting used to them now. May do the trough of Bowland next week, depends on the weather as its pants here today. |
